Edipo rey, de Sófocles, no se hubiera convertido en una tragedia “modélica” si no hubiera gozado de una amplia y reconocida recepción, sobre todo, por parte dos de sus intérpretes más decisivos e influyentes: Aristóteles y Freud. En este artículo analizamos los principales argumentos que ofrece Aristóteles en la Poética: a) la forma más apropiada de reconocimiento; b) el uso del coro; c) la argumentación verosímil; d) la concentración necesaria. Freud descubre en esta tragedia una estructura antropológica del deseo inconsciente de los seres humanos. Por último, expondremos los argumentos filosóficos de Kaufmann: a) la inseguridad radical del ser humano; b) la ceguera; c) la maldición del conocimiento; d) la inevitabilidad de la tragedia; d) el cuestionamiento de la justicia.Oedipus king, by Sophocles, would not have become a “model” tragedy if he had not enjoyed a wide and recognised reception, especially by two of his most decisive and influential interpreters: Aristotle and Freud. In this article we analyze the main arguments that Aristotle offers in the Poetics: a) the most appropriate form of recognition; b) the use of the choir; c) the plausible argumentation; d) the necessary concentration. Freud discovers in this tragedy an anthropological structure of the unconscious desire of the human beings. Finally, we will expose the philosophical arguments of Kaufmann: a) the radical insecurity of the human being; b) blindness; d) the curse of knowledge; d)the inevitability of the tragedy; e) the questioning of justice.

Losses are essential in every human being's life. My goal is to make an attempt to introduce the main aspects of loss. I think that losses occur by two modes: in our cultural surroundings and in our identity. Culture plays an important role in people's lives, culture that we are bom into. However, Otherness is a new field of investigating the individuals and of investigating the world at the same time. What is the end of losing culture? What is the end of losing Otherness? To reach the state of being a Subject is the unconscious desire of human beings' psyches. Every human being reaches a development in his thinking, and he becomes a Subject through his losses because these losses serve as profit at the same time.

Abstract At the present time in Venezuela a practice commonly occurs at funerals celebrated at funeral chapels or in family houses that certainly can be said to have already become part of the funeral ritual: Those attending the funeral tell jokes. Although it seems a contradiction because a funeral is a serious event where people have lost a loved one, the jokes have come to acquire a symbolic range within that ritual. This paper aims to explain precisely, from an anthroposemiotic perspective, the presence of jokes at funerals as a mask for the human being before the phenomenon of death. The theoretical and methodological contributions of Van Gennep (2008), Peirce (1987), Auge (2000), Turner (1988), and Freud (2005) are used, as well as the technique of participant observation from the ethnographic method (Mauss 1947; Guber 2006; Kottak 2007), based on an introspective-experiential epistemological approach (Padrón Guillen 2001, 2003). In conclusion, it can be said that jokes told in these non places can be translated as a mask, which has become another symbol of the funeral ritual, the unconscious intentionality of which reveals the fear of humankind before a natural and inevitable phenomenon that is a reminder of the finiteness of human beings and expresses the desire to break the direct death/pain/depression relation.

Freud's theory is among the major theories of counseling and psychotherapy. Freud, like other psychotherapists has his own anthropological views. In Freud's theory, man is an instinctive being. A human being is a system of energy, and this energy is the same as the energy of the "id" or "libido. The goal of life is to reduce the tension and gain pleasure. Most human behaviors originate from the unconscious, and humans do not have free will. From this perspective, the person has no tendency to morality within himself, and consequently ethics will be relative. However, From Shi'a point of view, man is the supreme creature of God and is a creature that has two lives. Human beings have free will, so there is a responsibility. Shi'a believes that man is not morally neutral and generally have a common moral sense and are aware of the ethical principles and the ultimate goal of life and Creation is to reach the nearness to God.

In the Qur'an we find different concepts of trust situated within different ethical discourses. A rather unambiguous ethico-religious discourse of the trust relationship between the believer and God can be seen embodied in conceptions of tawakkul. God is the absolute wakīl, the guardian, trustee or protector. Consequently He is the only holder of an all-encompassing trusteeship, and the normative claim upon the human being is to trust God unconditionally. There are however other, more polyvalent, conceptions of trust. The main discussion in this article evolves around the conceptions of trust as expressed in the polysemic notion of amāna, involving both trust relationships between God and man and inter-human trust relationships. This concept of trust involves both trusting and being trusted, although the strongest and most explicit normative claim put forward is on being trustworthy in terms of social ethics as well as in ethico-religious discourse. However, ‘trusting’ when it comes to fellow human beings is, as we shall see, framed in the Qur'an in less absolute terms, and conditioned by circumstantial factors; the Qur'anic antithesis to social trust is primarily betrayal, ‘khiyāna’, rather than mistrust.

This essay discusses based on Qur’anic value and character education. In gobalization era, it has great impact on young behaviour change such as fighting, free sex, drug and other delinquencies. The occurred result is serious enough and it cannot be assumed just as a simple matter again, mainly that the subjects and the victim are young people whose have professions as students. The fact indicates that education world has to give an important role toward preventing national moral decadency in the effort of preparing the better future young generation. In this regard, we are aware that the education goal, basically, is to build better morality of human being or in another term is to “humanize the human being”. An idea regarding the significance of character education was appeared as a given solution in answering the morality problem in Indonesian education world. Character education is part of value education. That why, looking for the character education concept has been very urgent in the effort of preparing excellent, faithful, professional and personalized leaner as being asked by the education goal. The essence of characterized behavior actually is the psychological totality form which includes the whole human individual potency of cognitive, affective and psycho-motoric aspects, and also socio-cultural totality function in the context of interaction with God, him or herself, other human beings and the environment in his or her long life. Furthermore, in Qur’an’s teaching, the figure of the Messenger Peace be upon him (PBUH) is viewed as “the model human being”. In this context, the concept of Qur’anic charactereducation can be found through three moral dimensions that should be actualized in human being personality. They are the morality toward Allah (spiritual quotient/ intelligence), the morality toward our self (emotional quotient) and the morality toward Allah’s creatures, human being and environment (social quotient). Then, school should make the Holy Qur’an as the foundation of character education’s implementation whereas the implementation form in the school can be developed through intra-curricular, extra-curricular or personality and school culture development.

Education is the backbone of a civilized society. Values have an important role in education system of any society. Most important thing is that, education should be based on some core values of human being like truthfulness, honesty, justice, good behavior etc. Only this can help a society to maintain a peaceful atmosphere. As all human beings are social animals, so this is the duty of every human being to obey their social responsibility. Mahamana Malaviyaji is one of those great personalities who felt his social responsibility very well and established Banaras Hindu University to bring people out from the mode of ignorance. He values our Indian culture and tradition, which is based on Bhagavat Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam.

Freedom and Justice have always been challenged. Since the most remote times, and in the most varied circumstances of places and people, human beings have tried to clarify and put into practice these two controversial concepts. Freedom and Justice, in effect, are words, but also dreams, desires and practices that, not being imperfect, are less sublime and ambitious. Reflecting on them on the basis of an ethics of development and socioenvironmental sustainability is still a great challenge in our contemporaneity. This book is born from the need that we all have to reflect, understand what our role is in relation to the OTHER, understood as the other as Environment. Doing this from such disparate areas and at the same time as current as Economics, Philosophy and Ecology, is still a great opportunity to discuss complexity, transdisciplinarity and the inclusion of diverse themes, but which all converge in the Human Being and its relationship with the world. Endowing human beings with Freedom and a sense of Justice means RESPONSIBILITY. To be free and to want a better and fairer world is to endow our existence with meaning and meaning. Agency, autonomy, functioning, dignity, rights, are capacities that must be leveraged individually and collectively for authentic development to exist. Development as Freedom is a valid proposal for thinking about a socio-environmental rationality that interferes in the controversial relations between economics, ethics and the environment.

<p></p><p>Human beings live in various places. Place affects human being. A few experiments were conducted on 200 students, including 100 male and 100 female. Participants were the students of a selected school. Place effect on participants’ motor, cognitive behaviors and academic confidence studied. The subjects were divided into two groups. Group-A was consisted of students those were in the school for more than 5 years, whereas in group-B students with less than 5 years stay in the school were there. It was assumed that duration as stay in the school representing place effect may provide some relationship link? Following instruments were used; Taping Board (Electronic) 10 trails for both groups as motor performance, Star Mirror Drawing (Electronics) 10 trails with preferred hand both groups for transfer as cognition and Academic Self-efficacy Scale for all groups for academic confidence implied in similar controlled conditions. The results provided useful significant information about the place effect; some emic proposition regarding gender also emerged. More studies recommended.</p><br><p></p>

The use of the bija in worship is commonplace in the Hindu religion, especially in Bali. But actually means philosophical a very deep, because it not only as a guidance for mankind in creating prosperity based on the sacredness through harmonious relationships beetwen humans and God/Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, humans with their fellow human beings and human beings with their natural environment. But the most important is education in shaping the character of good moral character, thus forming each employee to become a real human being. Keywords: bija, harmonization, chastity, character.

In practical situations such as hostage rescue, earthquake and other similar events, the ultra-wideband (UWB) life-detection radar echo response from the respiration motion of the trapped person is always quasi-/non-periodic in respiration frequency or very weak in respiration amplitude, which can be called quasi-static vital sign. Although it is an extremely difficult task, considering the economic cost, the detection ability of the traditional UWB life-detection radars with only a pair of transceiver antennas is desired to be enhanced for locating the quasi-static trapped human being. This article proposes two different detection methods for quasi-static trapped human beings through the single/multiple observation points, which corresponds to the single-/multi-station radar operating mode, respectively. Proof-of-principle experiments were carried out by our designed radar prototypes, validating the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
